the first one may be kinda stupid. Is hacking the kindle in any way allowed by amazon? Is it akin to jail-breaking the iphone? I'd rather not do that...

but I'm wondering if there's a hack/script that does what I want:

I want to leave networking off in general, but have the kindle do this 3 step process:
turn on networking
whispersync
turn off networking

either on a time basis, or when the kindle first wakes up/turns on and sleeps/turns off.

Sorry if these are silly questions: I don't actually own a kindle yet, but am strongly considering buying one. I currently read on my PC, my blackberry, my ipod touch and my cybook gen 3. What I'm wishing for is synced placeholders between my devices.
